In the last couple of years, the face of Shinjuku Station East Exit has changed.
Notice the store on the right is now Bic Camera. Do you remember what it used to be less than a year ago?
In the center of the shot, you see advertising space for sale on a billboard. Do you remember [...]
(To the melody of “Do You Know the Muffin Man?”)
Do you know the Nick’n Roll?

Showa Kinen Koen 昭和記念公園 is a huge park in Tachikawa 立川, about a 40-minute train ride from Shinjuku on the JR Chuo Line.
There are tons of things to do there, like have a huge-ass barbecue with lots of friends, take a paddle boat out for a spin on the lake, play all kinds of sports, [...]
